28 Vallejo Street

28 Vallejo Street is a fabulous Mediterranean, built in the Santa Fé style. Lovely views of the San Francisco Bay complement wonderful entertaining spaces, a large family / media room, and an eat in kitchen with Berkeley Mills cabinetry. This home is Trejo Design's most recent work, built as a spec house.
